GAS HOSE RESTRAINT

If the oven is mounted on casters, a commercial flexible
connector with a minimum of 3/4" (1.9 cm) inside diam-
eter must be used along with a quick connect device.
The restraint, supplied with the oven, must be used to limit
the movement of the unit so that no strain is placed upon
the flexible connector. With the restraint fully stretched the
connector should be easy to install and quick connect.
The restraint (ie: heavy gauge cable) should be 1,000 lb.
(453 kg) test load and should be attached without damag-
ing the building. DO NOT use the gas piping or electrical
conduit for the attachment of the permanent end of the
restraint! Use anchor bolts in concrete or cement block.
On wooden walls, drive hi test wood lag screws into the
studs of the wall.
1. Mount the supplied bracket to the leg bolt just below
the gas inlet.
2. The clip on restraining cable can be attached to the
mounting bracket.
